I,t,r-State Commerce.

The first annual report of the interstate
commerce commissioners asserts that the
act is now in operation in all parts OF the
country, and has been found generally
beneficial, railroad earnings increasing
while tariff rules have been reduced. Inc
commission holds that express companies
connected with railroads come within the
nrovince of the act, but expresses doubt
as TO the liability Of express companies
independent Of railroads sleeping car
oor,nonias live stock car companies and
al camnanies that transport in tanks, the
commission think are liable TO discrimi-
nate and the attention OF congress is
called thereto. The commission announces
that since the law went INTO enecs .ne
nooiing OF freight and railroad earnings
has stopped, and that the more serious
evils OF which the people complained have

A rumor was started in Cheyenne yes
terday afternoon that Gen. f. G. David
had received a telegram from Washington
that Judge Carey was dangerously i'll Of
congestion Of the lungs and that he was
not expected to live twelve hours. 1t has
been known in Cheyenne hat Judge
Carey has been sick and confined to his
bed in Washington for some time, but it
was not known hat he was dangerously
i'll, and when the rumor was started yes
terday it created a profound sensation.
Subsequently it was ascertained that no
such telegram had been received by Gen.
David or by anybody else, and so far as
could be learned last evening the latest
news from Judge Carey is to the effect
that he is better.
